La Bete
Author:
David Hirson
Narrator:
A Full Cast
In David Hirson's witty hommage to Molière, a troupe of itinerant actors, led by their writer-manager Elomire, are living the high life thanks to the patronage of the autocratic Prince Conti. But sparks begin to fly with the arrival of Valere, an actor suffering delusions of artistic grandeur. A delightful battle of wits and witticisms ensues, and the question is posed: what exactly is the role of art, and the artist, in society? La Bete is widely regarded as one of the most controversial American plays produced on Broadway in the past decade. The recording includes an interview with playwright David Hirson - an emerging new playwright who has been compared to Tom Stoppard, John Osborne and even Prokofiev.
